Explora Journeys

Contemporary ocean residences with a European feel, arriving in Asia from September 2027.

Explora Journeys is the luxury ocean brand of the MSC Group, with a calm, contemporary style. Every suite faces the sea and has a private terrace, and the ships feel closer to a design hotel than a classic liner. Explora III brings the brand to Asia from September 2027, with 28 itineraries across Japan, South Korea, China and Southeast Asia.

Overnight stays in Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ha Long Bay, Ho Chi Minh City and Bali allow more time ashore. Explora III joined the fleet in 2026. Explora IV and Explora V are due in 2027, followed by Explora VI in 2028.

Where it goes

  • Japan and South Korea, from September 2027
  • Southeast Asia and Bali, in the 2027 to 2028 season
